The Legacy of the Physician Mother

February 9, 2017 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Raising children as a physician is part of modern professional life. But it wasn’t always viewed that way. My mother was accepted to Harvard Medical School in 1954 but turned down the offer. I learned this too late in my mother’s life for details but my father suggested that she struggled with the decision but was ultimately afraid that she couldn’t be a mother and ...

Medical Knowledge at 2x Speed

July 25, 2016 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

I had coffee with a medical student this week. A former Rice University student and alumnus of the Medical Futures Lab, we caught up to recap his first year of medical school. Among other things we talked about learning. And like most medical students, his process had come to involve video at 2-3x speed. What was more interesting is how it had come to influence his ...

When Surgeons Learn from YouTube

March 8, 2016 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

A study in JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery this month reports that 64% of plastic surgeons describe having used online videos to learn new procedures. What's remarkable isn’t the 64%, but the fact that the study drew so much attention. Perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised. The Internet, after all, is typically seen as a sewer of misinformation. Good medical information ... Continue Reading about When Surgeons Learn from YouTube

Twitter and the Dean of Harvard Medical School

September 29, 2015 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Today the Wall Street Journal profiled Harvard Medical School’s Jeffrey Flier and his views on Twitter. It’s worth a read and it's brief. Most importantly, it can and should be shared with medical educators as an emerging standard. If you can overlook a degree of naiveté (you have no control over who your followers will be), the piece reflects the basic value ...

Medicine X – How Education Begins to Change

September 25, 2015 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Medicine is changing fast. Yet, the way we train doctors is not changing nearly as fast. It’s reflected in an education system built for 20th century. Over the past couple of days people began talking about it at a meeting called Medicine X | Ed. This is the first meeting to tackle the thorniest issues facing our next generation of doctors. The meeting brought ... Continue Reading about Medicine X – How Education Begins to Change

So the minds at Stanford's Medicine X thought the subject could use a little discussion. They're moving the chains with a transformative new meeting about medical education, Medicine X | ed. This fall on the ... Continue Reading about Why You Should Attend Stanford Medicine X | Ed
